I thought on the DVD commentary, they said it was because they were doing the dialogue in the style of the old Golden Age comics and DC wanted the JSA to be taken seriously and not associated with a style that seems campy to modern audiences. Something like that.

Don't have that DVD set, yet. It's been a long time since I read that, I just remember something to the extent that they didn't want the JSA portrayed the way the script had them -- I took that to mean that they didn't want them to be "imaginary" after I saw the show. Never thought it could be that the dialogue was too campy...

I don't think it was just the dialogue, but also that the characters were coming off as so dated. They do go in to quite a bit of depth into back and forth with DC about those episodes. Haven't watched it in a while, but it's pretty interesting. They almost didn't do the episodes at all, until they hit upon the Justice Guild solution.
